Effective Public Speaking – Part 2

So, now that you know what the purpose of public speaking is, let us see how you can be good at it. Ways to be effective at public speaking are as follows:-

Research a topic

Good speakers stick to what they know. Great speakers research what they need to convey.

Before you think you’re prepared, you must make sure you know what you’re going to be conveying to your audiences, for this you must research your topic and gather the necessary information you require. After locating all the information you require, you must filter the best relevant information.

Organize ideas logically

Make sure that your presentation is well organized, because a well-organized presentation can be absorbed with minimal mental strain. Use interesting statistics, facts and quotations to supplement your speech where relevant. Also, complement your words with visual aids.

                                                      

Master metaphors

Metaphors enhance the understandability of the message in a way that direct language often cannot.

                               

Pictures grab your attention, they provoke an emotional response, and they are powerful allies for any public speaker or presenter. In order to harness that power you have to turn your abstract ideas into concrete images using words not paint. You have to create word pictures.
